I’m Hala, a Health and Sports Science Rep. I work with course leaders and Department Officers to improve things like your course content, teaching, assessments, and materials - all based on what you and your coursemates tell me.

You Said
Referencing was a constant headache. You told us that different modules were using different referencing styles, and the guidance wasn’t always clear which made assignments confusing and added unnecessary stress.
We Did
Hala took this feedback to course leaders and pushed for change. As a result, the department created a standardised referencing guide across all modules with clear, consistent instructions on how to reference properly.
What's Changing
Referencing is no longer a guessing game. You’ll now get clear, unified guidance on what referencing style to use, how to apply it across different modules and what’s expected in each assignment.
What This Means For You
You’ll spend less time trying to figure out the rules and more time focusing on your content. With clear, consistent instructions, you can approach your assignments with confidence, knowing exactly what’s expected and how to meet the standards.
What's Next
We’ll keep working with reps and module leaders to make sure the guidance stays consistent and to flag any future confusion early.

Thanks To You X Love Exeter
We’re working side-by-side with the University to make sure your voice leads to action. Together, we’ve already improved things that matter to you, and we’re not stopping here. There’s more to do, we’ll keep lobbying the University to make sure they keep listening.
